European Grassland Federation Symposium 2025
EGF 2025 – Multi-species swards
Welcome to the EGF Symposium 2025 website.
The British Grassland Society is pleased to invite you to the 23rd European Grassland Federation Symposium that will be held from 15 -17 September 2025 at the University of Reading, UK. The subject of the symposium is Multi-species swards.
The EGF symposium 2025 will cover a broad range of themes relating to multi-species swards including aspects of drought and flooding resilience, soil fertility and structure, forage nutritive value, animal health benefits, grazing and sward management and monitoring, and the use of multi-species swards in arable rotations, amongst others. The introduction will focus on, and a common thread running through each theme will be, the consideration of the successful translation of research to farm level and farmer uptake. It is critically important that research remains relevant and addresses the key information needs of the farmer.
Whilst multi-species swards have global relevance, the symposium topic reflects the current value of multi-species swards as alternatives to monoculture grass swards in temperate grassland production systems and the growing interest in regenerative and sustainable management practice. The main focus will be related to sown multi-species grasslands, however, species rich natural and semi-natural grasslands may also be considered.
